We're very excited to announce a new album recorded over two days on Glen's 55th birthday last year in the iconic studio Funkhaus in Berlin. Set to be released in two volumes, 'Don+t Settle: Transmissions East & West Volume 1' is due out 24 April with Volume 2 following soon after. You can pre-order Volume 1 now at the link in bio.
"I've always been more comfortable on stage than in a studio. I love making records. I love the process. But the song lives before an audience. A song needs witnesses. It's where I feel like I can really grab hold of it. And know it - the way that it's meant to be known. So to record this album in front of an audience was incredibly gratifying. It gave the songs a new lease of life. One always hopes the songs will land, take root and mean something new. Beauty is in the ear of the behearer."
These concerts were also captured beautifully on film alongside interviews with Glen, the band and fans. We'll be sharing more soon, starting today with this excellent performance of "Didn't He Ramble" which you can watch on Glen's YT channel (link in bio).
Glen Hansard - Didn't He Ramble (Funkhaus Version)


There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
